Famous quotes containing the words total and/or strength:
“The word infant derives from Latin words meaning not yet speaking. It emphasizes what the child cannot do and reflects the babys total dependence on adults. The word toddler, however, demonstrates our change in perspective, for it focuses on the childs increased mobility and burgeoning independence.”
—Lawrence Kutner (20th century)
“Go forward while you can, but if your strength fails you, sit down near the road and gaze without anger or envy at those who pass by. They dont have far to go, either.”
—Ivan Sergeevich Turgenev (18181883)
